Unknown Greek Coin [opgelost]

Hello All,

This was a Greek coin that has a been in my ownership but I cannot seem to find where it is from. Some lettering is readable but I am terrible at for transcribing it properly. 

 

This is around 26mm in diameter and around 3.5-4 mm in thickness. very much a copper or bronze alloy but I can't seem to find other indications as where this would be from asides from the lettering but that has remained a constant problem. 

Hope this helps!

Hello,

 

This is an old entry but still hasn't been solved, hope to know where this is from!

This looks Seleucid. The text right of the sitting figure is BAΣIΛEΩΣ an left should be the name of the king. It's quite worn, but it may be ΣEΛEYKOY (Seleucos)? At least I think I can see the ‘EΛ’ part.

The problem is that there were a bunch of kings with that name and this seated Zeus figure is kind of the most popular design.

If I had to guess, it's maybe Seleucos II or III?
